Bib Brother is watching.:sneaky:

So did he eat the "big brother" with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

But some of the stuff that does is kinda cool in a way.

 

[dennilfloss]

Always with chianti.()

Because you're a murderer, right? I guess we have that down now. Go to hell.

Btw, big brother is not watching. Big brother gets a fucking search warrant.

Err, why didn't the idiot remote brick/wipe his iPhone?

Big Brother is Apple in this case, not the police.

I have always been cautious about this technology. That is why I don't own an I-Phone or a Facebook.

I dont break the law, so i am not worried.

Why does the iPhone need to save screenshots of nearly everything?

Creepy... perhaps the Iphone is just an intel gathering device for SkyNet. When the machines gain power, they already know how to destroy us based on our Iphone user habits.

Shit, at this point, people should just destroy the Iphone in order to hide user activity. Lot more secure and harder to recover, eh?

It's used to provide the animation that happens when you close an app, and the phone doesn't store a history of them.

Criminals use iPhones, ipso faco, iPhone users are criminals. I don't use an iPhone 'cause I ain't a criminal.


When criminals are outlawed, only outlaws will be criminals. Just you watch.

yeah, this is news to me ... how hasn't this been found out before? and how can I get at them, how much space are they using up?

It was discovered a long time ago, http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/32645

On the other hand, since the vast majority of iPhone users aren't criminals, they would seem to provide a very good alibi if you're innocent and a suspect in a crime...
